They are elevating or drawing attention to SELF. We are supposed to die to self and to draw attention or elevate Christ.

Selfies are SELFcentered. They exalt the very thing we are supposed to crucify.

I am not interested in going on an anti-selfie campaign. People are creative. They are made after a creative God.

So, if I’m reading this right, taking a selfie and posting it on social media is not a form of narcissism or self-obsession but a form of healthy self-acceptance and a desire to be accepted for who I am, what I look like, and where I am. There’s some truth in this possibility http://www.biblesociety.org.au/news/biblical-wisdom-say-selfie

Would Jesus take a selfie?

We work so hard to project the perfect image of ourselves but Jesus’s attention was always on God and those around HIM 1st first http://www.christiantoday.com/article/would.jesus.take.a.selfie/35164.htm

This and thwxassicuated study are both secular and do not account for evangelistic tendencies. In the linked study (see bottom of the study page for link) it features bith men and women (from Poland) but again dicuessed I negative traites. For instance, in finding that selfie-posting tended to Inc read amk g thise seeing themselves as leaders, this was linked with “more willing to manipulate”. THAT statement I’d more a reflection on the researchers mind set than the subjects (especially as no ratioake was offered as to why that might be so.)

Therefore I conclude that both studies were flawed at best. Of course our pre-conditions and need for inner being will be reflected in our on-line behaviour. But the taking of selfues us not the cause – only a possible symptom.

Ok having now preached to the choir let’s post a nice selfie…..
